A Super-Exciting Project: The Great Gatsby Readalong

Sorry for having
been silent for a few weeks. I have a delayed review of Zola’s The Earth for #Zoladdiction2017; which I
have read, have been quit shocked by its brutality, but nonetheless have liked
it; but still could not squeeze enough time and focus to write a proper review.
Maybe in one of these days…

The Great
Gatsby has been one of my favorite novels, and I have planned to reread it this
year. My first schedule was July. But knowing that Hamlette of The Edge of
Precipice was planning to host a readalong on June, I was super excited that I changed
my schedule to adjust with it.

Besides Gatsby
itself, I have planned to read two companion books: So We Read On: How The Great Gatsby Came To Be and Why It Endures by Maureen Corrigan and Careless People: Murder, Mayhem and the Invention of The Great
Gatsby by Sarah Churchwell. Considering that I might be
moving to a new apartment during June, I doubt if I would be able to finish
all, but I’ll just try.

Can't wait to get through this book!

My copy is still on its way from the bookstore, hopefully it'll arrive just on time!

Have you read The Great Gatsby? Care to read (or reread) it along with me, Hamlette, and (I believe) a bunch of other super-excited readers?
